poetry
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| structure | how a poem is organization with images, ideas, words, and lines |
| stanzas | most poems are divided into stanzas- the paragraphs of poetry |
| lines | each stanza contains a prescribed number of lines- rows of words that may or may not form sentences |
| imagery | is descriptive language used to repre- sent objects, feelings, and thoughts. Images appeal to one or more of the five senses and are intended to remind readers of something they have seen, heard, tasted, smelled, or touched. |
| figurative language | is words used differently from their ordinary, literal meanings. Simile- uses the word like or as to compare two seemingly unlike things. |
| metaphor | compares two or more different things by stating or implying that one thing is another. |
| personification | When a writer gives human qualities to nonhuman things |
| hyperbole | uses exaggeration to express strong emotion, make a point, or evoke humor. |
| rhythm | is the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of poetry. A poem’s rhythm can be regular or irregular. |
| meter | is the regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables that can establish the rhythm of a poem. |
| foot | usually contains one stressed syllable and one or more unstressed syllables. |
| rhyme | is the repetition of the same stressed vowel sounds and any succeeding sounds in two or more words. |
| internal rhyme | occurs when two words in the same line rhyme. |
| end rhyme | occurs at the end of lines. |
| rhyme scheme | The rhyme scheme is the pattern of end rhyme in a poem.You can mark the rhyme scheme of a poem by using a different letter of the alphabet for each new rhyme.Many types of poems have specific rhyme schemes.Using a to denote the first rhyme, b the second |
| free verse | is poetry that has no fixed pattern of meter, rhyme, line length, or stanza arrangement. |
| symbol | is any object, person, or place that has meaning in itself but also stands for something else, usually on an abstract level. In a poem, symbols are used to convey meaning and feelings or to show something that is not easily defined in a literal way. |
| lyric poem | expresses a speaker’s personal thoughts and feelings. |
| sound devices | are the elements in poetry that appeal to the ear. Poets use them to establish mood, create rhythm, reinforce meaning, or add a musical quality. |
| alliteration | The repetition of consonant sounds at the beginnings of words is called alliteration. Poets use alliteration as a way of emphasizing important words in the poem. |
| assonance | The repetition of similar vowel sounds within non-rhyming words is called assonance.Assonance is often used in place of end rhyme, especially in ballads and free verse. Like all sound devices, assonance helps unify a poem and emphasize important ideas |
| consonance | When two words have different vowel sounds but share a single consonant sound —such as brick and clock — they are said to have consonance. |
| onomatopoeia | Words such as “ping,” “splash,” and “knock” are examples of another sound device. Onomatopoeia is the use of words that imitate the sound of what they describe. |
| repetition | The repetition of a sound,word,phrase,line, or even an entire stanza is another frequently used poetic sound devices.Repetition can occur anywhere in a poem, including within lines, and from one stanza to another. |
| epiphany | or “showing forth,” is a moment of sudden revelation of the true meaning of a situation, person, or object. In a moment of epiphany, a character sees something in a new light. |
